Raise funds with Whisper!
Sponsored events and challenges
Some of our supporters have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for Whisper. If you do climb Mount Kilimanjaro and you have time, come and visit us in Uganda!
For fundraisers who are taking part in sponsored running, we can provide striking running vests. Whisper supporters have run in the London Marathon and other races.
You can set up an online fundraiser for Whisper with GlobalGiving, which has the advantage that gifts from US donors are tax-deductible. On GlobalGiving's website, choose one of Whisper's projects, then go down the project page to the "Start a fundraiser" button)
Other fundraising ideas
We have experience of various kinds of fundraising; feel free to contact us to discuss your ideas and we'll help where we can. Here are some suggestions:
- livestreaming on YouTube, Facebook or Twitch, with chat windows and other features. Host online parties, or maybe even livestream from a phone while taking part in a sponsored event! See our page on livestream fundraising.
- garage sales
- asking for donations for your birthday / holiday gifts / graduation / wedding
- fundraising dinners and other parties (let us know if you want a speaker from Whisper, even if it's only via Skype!)
- handmade products (knitting, crocheting, crafts). In the early days of Whisper, Veronika sold handmade socks on a market stall.
- baking
- putting a collection box in a shop or other public place
